The Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows a person who is over 21 years of age (‘donor’) to appoint one or more persons (‘donee(s)’) to make decisions and act on their behalf should they lose mental capacity one day.

There are 2 main types of LPA appointment and they are frequently used. A donee can be appointed to act in the two broad areas of personal welfare and property matters.

Why should you get an LPA?

If you unfortunately lose mental capacity and did not make a Lasting Power of Attorney, your family members must apply for a court order to administer your affairs. This court order is one where the court appoints a person to be the court-appointed deputy to manage your affairs.

If you had made an LPA, your family members do not need to get the court order. This means that they save money (several thousand dollars) and time (several months) because you already had an LPA which they can rely on. There are many instances of families who cannot access the bank accounts of the breadwinner who has lost mental capacity, and therefore cannot pay their bills whilst waiting for the court order to be issued.

Setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney is relatively straightforward and inexpensive, but will give you significant peace of mind should the worst occur.

I wish to take this opportunity to convey my appreciation to Dorothy and her team Ing Yee and Firdaus who represented me in my divorce.I have received excellent legal representation and professionalism in every aspect of the process. Dorothy took the time to listen to all my concerns and responded with clear, concise notes outlining all the different courses of action including the positives and negatives with each choice. The fear of the unknown I have felt throughout this unfamiliar legal process was greatly assured by this outstanding team of professionals, especially with this being not only an extremely difficult situation for me but it was also a sensitive period in my life. I am grateful to have Dorothy and her team who handled this case with what I would consider perfection, dedication and utmost competence.I am moving forward with my new life on a positive note and it was a great pleasure working with this wonderful team. Once again, thank you!

Satisfactory. Wish they could be a little more patient and better explain their services inclusions and additional charges. Banks and law firms have different understanding and make it difficult for family members to settle the debts and assets of my Dad, as he did not leave a Will or a listing of his debts and assets. We thought the banks or law firms could help but these search are additional charges per financial insitutions by the law firms. Banks will not tell us anything until we have a legal letter.

We are very thankful to be well-served by Christina and their team of staff. We were not sure where to turn to, too many law firms offering and promising best service. It was a call made and attended by a helpful reception staff Miss Felicia. I remembered it was almost office closing time, however, she was still very patiently and helpful handling our enquiries, not rushing through. That left us with a deep impression. We made the decision right after that plus the good reviews received on google. Everyone at your law firm that we met was kind and patient.Christina has always made sure to follow-up closely and update us as & when.We would highly recommend this law firm not only for their good staff and quality service but also their reasonable legal fee. They are transparent with whatever they have quoted right at the beginning, truly no hidden cost.

Christina of PKWA is very professional and serve with her heart.Unfortunately, the alternate work from home requirement due the pandemic hinders me from reaching her easily.

I had researched online for application of LOA service and PKWA came to my attention as they have alot of good reviews and reasonable price (in actual fact, the cheapest). Thus, I had called PKWA and managed to book an appointment with one of their lawyers that can communicate in mandarin (as my mother was the one that requires the service). Jane Ng was the legal manger that was assigned to us, she is very friendly, detailed in explanation and patience (as my mother takes awhile to digest certain information). The whole process was fuss free and smooth. Glad that we had engaged PKWA/Jane's service. Thank you~~~

Mr Pan Wai Liong has been our lawyer for the past 20 years. Mr Pan had taken care of all the legal documents for the sales and purchases of our 4 properties over the years. Mr Pan is a professional lawyer that we can count upon to give sound and helpful advice before and after the purchase of our properties. He is very experienced in handing all the legal documentation of properties. 4 years ago, we consulted Mr Pan to do our Will and LPA. He is a very meticulous and detailed lawyer. He analyzed our needs, provided useful advice and crafted the wills to take care of our best interests. We would definitely engage his service again if we need any legal advice. We would also recommend his professional service to my children, relatives and friends!
